DROPPED DEAD AT S.A.W.V. DANCE

WILLIAM P. ASHLOCK, OF THIS CITY, A VICTIM OF HEART TROUBLE, AT HIGH SCHOOL 
BUILDING WEDNESDAY NIGHT

It was exceedingly unfortunate that the pleasant soujourne in our city of the 
war veterans and their ladies was marred by the sudden and sad death, 
Wednesday night, of William P. Ashlock, Spanish-American war veteran of our 
city, who passed away about midnight amidst the festivities at the High School 
building.

Mr. Ashlock, lured to the dance floor by an old-time dance, had danced one set 
and had just finished another when he collapsed. He had just made the remark 
that he was having the time of his life when he gave a gasp and dropped dead 
at the feet of those near him.

For some years Mr. Ashlock has been a suffered from heart trouble, and because 
of this rode in the parade instead of walking, but he evidently became 
enthused at the banquet and the dance which followed and in the excitement of 
the evening overtaxed his weak heart. A feeling of awe and sadness swept over 
the gathering and the pleasures immediately ended.

Mr. Ashlock was an industrious and good citizen whose untimely death is 
regretted by all. He leaves a wife and daughter who are shocked and grieved 
beyond expression by his sudden taking away.
